The festive season is officially upon us, and as many households across the UK settle down for a cosy few days in front of the television, some of our daytime favourites will still be joining us.
It’ll be a festive first as Loose Women will join fellow ITV daytime shows Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning for their Christmas Day schedule which will air from 7am on ITV1 and ITVX.
Offering a first look of This Morning’s funny festive opening titles for the show’s sixth consecutive Christmas Day special, hosts Ben Shephard, Cat Deeley, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary swap the studio for the snowy Surrey hills that were famously used as the backdrop in the festive favourite The Holiday.
Wrapped up in cosy winter coats and scarves, Cat asks: “Al, we’re supposed to be hosting the Christmas Day show soon, where are we?” as the four make their way to the location famously used as Kate Winslet’s cottage, that she house-swaps with Cameron Diaz in the film.
However, when there’s no answer when they knock on the door, the group soon realise there’s been a mix up and Cat reads a text on Alison’s phone that explains: “No, no, no Al this says ‘Kate Winslet will be joining us in the This Morning studio on Christmas Day…”
Having ‘rushed’ back to join the A-list actress, Ben, Cat, Alison and Dermot return to the studio dressed to impressed, Dermot in an Apres Ski inspired cream knit, Ben showcasing an emerald green dinner jacket and white shirt, Cat stunning in a red dress and Alison sparkling in a black and glittery gold polkadot dress, for a show packed with festive fun and games.
Before The Holiday inspired fun, viewers can also tune into watch Good Morning Britain with Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway as they’re joined by special guests.

Two of these special guests include Emmerdale’s Claire King and Coronation Street’s Claire Sweeney as they tease the highly-anticipated crossover, Corriedale.
For a Christmas treat Kate will reunite with fellow Celebrity Traitors stars Jonathan Ross, Sir Stephen Fry and Mark Bonnar. Meanwhile, Rylan Clark and Ross King will tease their Cinderella pantomime.
Lorraine Kelly will continue the celebrations on Lorraine from 9am with Dr Hilary Jones, Mark Heyes, Lucie Cave, Rishi Davda and Clare Barrett. Lorraine is also joined by Coronation Street’s Catherine Tysdale and Call The Midwife’s Renee Bailey and Molly Vevers. Plus, Tyler West sits down for an exclusive interview with movie stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson and there’s a special performance from Sophie Ellis-Bexter and Lorraine’s Change + Check choir.
Then, join Ben Shephard, Cat Deeley, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary from 10am for more festive fun in This Morning’s Christmas Day special.
Having brushed the snowflakes from their shoulders and reunited with Hollywood superstar Kate Winslet, Graham Norton and Florrie Bark will appear with a poignant Christmas message for the nation. Phil Vickery and Hairy Biker Si King will be in the kitchen to help viewers deal with any Christmas dinner dilemmas and Sian Welby reports from Great Ormond Street Hospital, meeting the hero doctors and nurses working on Christmas Day.

For the first time, Loose Women will be joining in with the panel donned in sequins and bows as Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, Judi Love, Jane Moore and Nadia Sawala kick off their first Christmas Day special.
From 12pm, the ladies take part in ‘Loose Quizmas’, share their festive traditions, catch up with Martin, Shirlie and Harley Moon Kemp and Janet Street-Porter shares her very own Christmas Day speech.
Then, James Martin will serve up a festive feast from 1pm, with a special episode of James Martin’s Christmas Day, featuring Gloria Hunniford, Jodie Kidd, super chef Clare Smyth and more.
Are they live on Christmas Day?
No, the shows are pre-filmed before Christmas Day so that the stars of each ITV daytime show can spend the festive season at home with their families too.
